It's actually Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Here's the text taken from LEGO's website regarding the grand opening:

Fuck it. I'm gonna go build a fully functional 1:1 Death Star with my son on the weekend.

got the last box of toy story army men at superstore :fuckyea:
thx for the tip Gumby :thumbs:

Went by Oakridge today around 3pm and the lineup to get into the store was estimated at 2 hours...

FML..got to oakridge at 9...didnt make it inside by 12..had to go lunch with family.ughh
oh well
the Giant R2D2 is cool tho

I know someone who lined up at 9:30am and didn't get into the store until 3pm... CRAZY!

I went there on wednesday and I didn't experience any lengthy wait times. Was it all because of the grand building thing? The store itself is incredible. I love that they have displays and they have a really awesome selection. I also love the individual brick sales. Reminds me of a candy store. I grew up without lego(mom bought me a shitty mega blocks set, the pieces never fitted properly) So it was quite nostalgic and a bit of a downer aswell to witness what could have been...

I fucking hate mega blocks LOL. Both my brother and I got a set when we were kids and we had missing pieces. Couldn't even finish our builds.

GF picked up the mini modular building set at closing. Got lucky and got a minifigure set as well!

This is the R2D2 from Sunday after it was completed

The Mini Modular set is amazing. One more building to go!

i want to get some lego now, but there so many fake lego that dun even look right (i dun mind fake lego is just that some fake lego dun fit with the real set)

Uh... if it doesn't say LEGO on the box, then don't buy it?

no what i mean i u had fake lego before & some parts dun fit a real LEGO set which does piss me off as its only off but a tiny little

rather have no lego than mix and matched fake lego. The store is pretty cool I went last week when it was relatively quiet and the sales ppl are so nosy. Honestly though I don't remember lego being so expensive, especially the pick your own piece cans, I remember my pail of random lego pieces being cheap enough for asian parents to buy...

nosey sales people?
:suspicious:

....then don't buy fake Lego. Buy your shit from Toys R Us, or better yet, THE LEGO STORE!

Omg legit Lego.

is your "fake lego" just a different brand..becuz they are not SUPPOSE TO FIT...

if its FAKE like cheap knockoffs... then really, thats just... common sense. U get what you pay for

Purchasing Lego in Canada is expensive..especially for those Modular Sets... the VIP points dont really do much, u get $5 for every $100 on it. Unless you are looking for the big ticket/hard to find stuff. I think I can use my Lego VIP card in the US as well..not as many "points" but i rather save $50 ahah

ToysRUs, Zellers, Walmart and RCSS will have sales.

went to the Lego store recently. might get the Lego 42000 grand prix racer
the mini cooper looks not bad either

Bought this last week...

Cool story, bro. Totally worth reviving this thread!


Are you talking about their competitor, MEGA BLOKS pieces?

lego plastics are of higher quality than megablocks.

step on megablock.... cracked it, still in pain.
